The internal flow of fluids through pipe connections, flow meters, valves, distributors and other parts can generate unsteady forces on the surrounding parts that cause them to move. Sometimes this movement is intentional and necessary, and sometimes it is unintentional but unavoidable. In either case, it is important to understand the impact of fluid forces on the surrounding equipment and its performance.

View this webinar and join us to learn how ANSYS fluid-structure interaction simulations, including harmonic analysis, can be used to understand the effects of flow-induced motion in industrial equipment. Discover how vibrations and repeated motion of these structures can lead to fatigue or induce process excitation in the system, thereby compounding the effects and further impacting performance.
